A lot of the cash was through the Emergency Rental Assistance Program. It had to go to landlords, it was a condition of the funding.

Someone at HUD made that decision, not at the state level.

I'm not defending the count, sorry that was unclear. Not all of what you say is true but my point is not to defend the count, my point is to counter the denial in this thread that the problem isn't real.

That's the thing though. Some people can afford the McMansions, they want the McMansions, and they will buy the McMansions. Can't build enough of them in Vermont to saturate the market for them. Turning the free market lose will do nothing for the people who need the most help in this situation.

They proved they dont need an EMP. Couple rifle shots have been taking down the grid. It really does all feel like planning and practicing...

Vermont is not corrupt—it’s one of the most transparent states when it comes to governing. And I’m very proud of our state despite its shortcomings.
Government programs while often necessary are always inefficient and partially effective. And legislations is often poorly written to prevent these problems.

Well it doesn't really have anything to do with the confederacy any more, it just means "I hate black people." Just like the Nazi flag means "I hate Jews."

Imagine that these calls were made during a severe disease outbreak, in winter, after a few real active shooters, and in the lead up to an EMP attack.

It is a nationwide hoax. The Agency of Education and the State's counterterrorism force are on it.

how about the same thing every city has ever done. build up. I know no one wants it, but that is the solution. It will happen eventually.

Yes, dropping a hard r is far more egregious then an off handed comment made from ignorance. If they’re serious about reform they should clearly define the language used to make it easier to condemn and bring it to the publics attention.

It relies on people self-identifying as homeless, with all the stigma and shame that comes with that. It can't count people surfing on couches nor someone who just became homeless the day after the count was done. The people doing these counts admit its a flawed system, you don't need to defend it.

This is domestic terrorism. They are purposefully trying to instill fear in people, in kids. I know this is happening all over the country and they rarely get the people, but we need to figure out a way to stamp this shit out. It’s literally terrorism and we should treat it as such.

Just got the all clear call from the school superintendent - just a hoax, no shooter.

Wtf. Seriously. Just your everyday racism and sinophobia that happens in Vermont. Just blame China for when bad things happen. 😒
Edit: adding some context. The original commenter wanted to blame China.
